Joaquín Rodríguez wins after long breakaway
Beltrán loses time to drop to third
By Hernán Alvarez Macías

Joaquín Rodríguez has won the eighth stage of the Vuelta España 2003 between Cauterets (France) and Plá de Beret in a time of 4:45:40. He defeated Aitor Osa (Ibanesto.com) in a two man sprint, while Constantino Zaballa (Kelme-Costa Blanca) was third 51" behind. In the general classification Isidro Nozal (ONCE-Eroski) maintained the leadership and Manuel Beltrán (US Postal Service-Berry Floor) dropped to third position after losing 38 seconds. Igor González de Galdeano (ONCE) is now back to second overall.
Rodríguez got himself into the breakaway of the day and attacked together with Aitor Osa in the final eight kilometres, beating his companion with a strong sprint and taking ONCE's third stage win. "My victory here is very important in my own homeland, Catalonia," he told Spanish TV. "We keep the leader's jersey. What else can I ask? Aitor actually deserved to win, but I could prevail in the sprint."
The ONCE strategy could have been changed after Isidro Nozal's sensational show, but team director Manolo Sáiz doesn't think so and explained the tactics of his team. "I get paid for my decisions, sometimes I succeed, sometimes I make mistakes," he said. "I do the things that I consider are the most convenient for my squad. Nozal has been extremely important in these first stages, but we have a plan to stick to. One rider cannot be the leader of a team so quickly, that's a matter of time. This is a team and we work like it".

Manuel "El Triki" Beltrán had a hard day. "I was very exhausted, yesterday we won and today we lose," he said. "I can't sleep at night, I'm nervous...maybe is the possibility of winning the Vuelta. However, being third is enough for me".
He further explained, "On the Portillón I felt I couldn't go. My legs didn't answer me. In my opinion, Roberto Heras as the big favourite for the Vuelta."
How it unfolded
The 180 riders that finished yesterday in Cauterets started today. At the beginning of the stage there was a 9 rider breakaway: José Jufré (Relax Fuenlabrada), Unai Etxebarria (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Aitor Osa (Ibanesto.com), Eladio Jiménez (Ibanesto.com), Constantino Zaballa (Kelme-Costa Blanca), Joan Horrach (Milaneza-MSS), Francisco Lara (Team Bianchi), Joaquín Rodríguez (ONCE-Eroski) and Denis Lunghi (Alessio). 49 kilometres after the start the front riders had 4'14 to the peloton. At the summit of Col d'Aspin (km 64) the gap had grown to 8'20. On the next climb, the Col d'Peyresourde, the front riders maintained the difference to the peloton at 8'22. Descending this mountain two of the leaders, Lara and Zaballa, lost some time to the other seven. Only Zaballa recovered and joined the front riders again.

In the peloton, the ONCE men didn't work to limit the gap, neither did the US Postal Service-Berry Floor team. The leader Isidro Nozal was in the middle of the field and it seemed that he wasn't worrying about the breakaway, because the riders inside it were not direct threats for the GC. On the Col del Portillón, the peloton changed the tempo in pursuit of the leaders. Kelme and Ibanesto.com men pulled very hard with Jesús María Manzano trying to put Alejandro Valverde (the team new leader after Sevilla's everlasting difficulties). There were many attacks, but Michael Rasmussen (Rabobank) rode faster and escaped from the rest of the field. The gap with the front riders was reduced a lot, and at the top with 46 km to go it was 3'45' between both groups.
Quick Step-Davitamon's star Richard Virenque attacked the peloton on the flat following the descent, and José Luis Martínez (Paternina-Costa de Almería) followed him. It seemed the breakaway in front was going to be caught, but the leaders extended their difference to 6'35 over the peloton with 20 km to Plá de Beret.
At the start of the last climb, Alto Plá de Beret, Joaquín Rodríguez and Aitor Osa attacked the lead group and rode away for the stage victory. In the peloton, Michael Rasmussen, Unai Osa (Ibanesto.com), Luis Pérez (Cofidis) and Felix Cardenas (Labarca) rode clear, getting a 20 second gap which they held until the finish, with Rasmussen winning the sprint for ninth. Behind them, Aitor González attacked followed by Roberto Heras (USPS). Nozal as well as Igor Gonzalez could keep the pace and didn't lose any time. "El Triki" Beltrán couldn't, and lost time.
At the finish, Rodríguez defeated Aitor Osa and obtained his first stage win in this Vuelta in addition to his GC leadership on the second and third day.
Stage 9 - September 14: Vielha-Port d'Envalira (Andorra), 174.8 km
The ninth stage is the third mountain one of this edition in the middle of the Pyrenees. There are three climbs in it: Cat. 1 Port de la Bonaigua (2,070 m), Cat. 1 Port del Cantó (1,730 m), and the special category uphill finish in Port d'Envalira (2,410 m) in Andorra. There are three intermediate sprints in Rialp (730 m), Adrall (630 m) and Centre Comercial Sant Eloi (850 m). Isidro Nozal has only one mountain stage to suffer as ONCE's plan is rolling along well. The rest of the teams must make the differences if they want to destroy Manolo Sáiz's team's reign in this Vuelta.
